A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson
It is the business of this life to make excuses for others, but none for ourselves. We should be clearly persuaded of our own misconduct, for that is the part of knowledge in which we are most apt to be defective.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1880-01/02?), “Reflections and Remarks on Human Life,” § 1.1 “Justice and Justification”More about this quote: wist.info/stevenson-robert-lou…

Unless a man has talents to make something of himself, freedom is an irksome burden. Of what avail is freedom to choose if the self be ineffectual? We join a mass movement to escape individual responsibility, or, in the words of the ardent young Nazi, “to be free from freedom.” It was not sheer hypocrisy when the rank-and-file Nazis declared themselves not guilty of all the enormities they had committed. They considered themselves cheated and maligned when made to shoulder responsibility for obeying orders. Had they not joined the Nazi movement in order to be free from responsibility?

The Step You Keep Almost Taking
You know what the next move is. You've written it down. You've seen it across your journal entries. You keep almost making it. This isn't about fear or laziness. It's about waiting for readiness that only ever comes through the step itself. So make the step smaller.https://journalingwrite.wordpress.com/2026/04/30/the-step-you-keep-almost-taking/

#Today I'm getting my act together in the studio, to produce a cover version of a favourite song for my dear love to sing to, in a couple of weeks time at a local show.
There will be no #procrastination, #impostorSyndrome, #selfDoubt or anything remotely #neurodiverse getting in the way, for I have spoken!
Please cheer this frustrated musician along a bit; so much to offer, so long held back by #executive #dysfunction
May nothing get in your way either 🫶 🧠 🎵

How to Stop Self Sabotage
You know exactly what you need to do. You have known for a while. And yet you keep not doing it.
You procrastinate on the thing that matters most. You start and then stop. You get close to something good and then somehow find a way to mess it up. You make progress and then quietly undo it. You tell yourself you will start properly on Monday, or next month, or when things settle down, and they never do.
This is self-sabotage. And it is not a personality flaw. It is not laziness. It is fear wearing a very convincing disguise.
Why We Sabotage Ourselves
Self-sabotage happens when part of you wants to move forward, and another part of you is terrified of what moving forward actually means.
Maybe success would mean more responsibility, more visibility, more risk of failure at a higher level. Maybe the new version of you would not fit into the relationships and environments you have built your life around. Maybe deep down, you do not actually believe you deserve what you say you want.
None of this is conscious. You do not sit down and decide to sabotage yourself. It is quieter than that. It shows up as distraction, as busyness, as suddenly finding ten other things that need doing right before you sit down to work on the thing that matters. It shows up as the argument you pick before a big opportunity, or the impulse to drink too much the night before something important.
The behaviour looks irrational from the outside. But it makes perfect sense once you understand what it is actually protecting you from: the risk of really trying and still failing.
The Patterns to Watch For
Procrastination as protection. If you never fully commit to something, you never fully fail at it. Keeping things at the planning stage forever means you always have the option of saying you could have done it if you had really tried. That protection is costing you the actual thing you want.
Self-destructive behaviour before high-stakes moments. Notice if you tend to drink more, sleep less, pick fights, or make impulsive decisions right before something important. This is not a coincidence. It is your nervous system trying to create a built-in excuse.
Rejecting good things before they can reject you. Pulling away from relationships that are going well. Quitting jobs before you can be fired. Leaving before you can be left. This is self-sabotage disguised as independence.
Perfectionism as an excuse not to start. If it has to be perfect before you begin, you will never begin. Perfectionism is not high standards. It is fear of being judged for something imperfect, so you produce nothing instead.
How to Actually Break the Pattern
The first step is awareness. You cannot change a pattern you cannot see. Start noticing when it happens. Not to judge yourself, but to get curious. What were you about to do before the sabotage kicked in? What specifically were you afraid of?
The second step is to change the question you ask yourself. Instead of “why do I keep doing this,” which is a shame spiral, ask “what am I protecting myself from right now?” That question opens up something useful. It treats the sabotage as information rather than evidence of your worthlessness.
The third step is to take the smallest possible action in the direction you want to go. Not the whole thing. Not a perfect version of it. The smallest thing. Momentum is built by doing, not by thinking about doing. Every small action you complete tells your nervous system that moving forward is survivable.
This is not a quick fix. These patterns are usually deeply rooted and do not disappear after one insight. But they do change with consistent, honest attention over time. And they change faster when you have someone helping you see what you cannot see yourself.
Ready to stop getting in your own way? I work with men who can see the pattern but need help actually breaking it. Book a free 30-minute call and let’s get into it.

I still am figuring out how to manage time(ahem procrastination). Certain things makes me stay awake at night when I'm so much into them, but many doesn't.
I guess the problem of my procrastination is because I'm afraid of a #project being a #failure or any type of failure/ imperfect outcome.
The self doubt is hindering my everyday life.
How are u all overcoming #procrastination or similar fail-to-action thoughts? 😭😭😭

A quotation from Samuel Johnson
But when thoughts and words are collected and adjusted, and the whole composition at last concluded, it seldom gratifies the author, when he comes coolly and deliberately to review it, with the hopes which had been excited in the fury of the performance: novelty always captivates the mind; as our thoughts rise fresh upon us, we readily believe them just and original, which, when the pleasure of production is over, we find to be mean and common, or borrowed from the works of others, and supplied by memory rather than invention.

A quotation from Hannah Arendt
For behind the unwillingness to judge lurks the suspicion that no one is a free agent, and hence the doubt that anyone is responsible or could be expected to answer for what he has done. The moment moral issues are raised, even in passing, he who raises them will be confronted with this frightful lack of self-confidence and hence of pride, and also with a kind of mock-modesty that in saying, Who am I to judge? actually means We’re all alike, equally bad, and those who try, or pretend that they try, to remain halfway decent are either saints or hypocrites, and in either case should leave us alone.
Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist

A quotation from Hannah Arendt
For behind the unwillingness to judge lurks the suspicion that no one is a free agent, and hence the doubt that anyone is responsible or could be expected to answer for what he has done. The moment moral issues are raised, even in passing, he who raises them will be confronted with this frightful lack of self-confidence and hence of pride, and also with a kind of mock-modesty that in saying, Who am I to judge? actually means We’re all alike, equally bad, and those who try, or pretend that they try, to remain halfway decent are either saints or hypocrites, and in either case should leave us alone.
Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist

I am not sure if I bought these only to look good online and get exchanged with interactions and engagement.
Am I sincere in taking care of myself? What if I bought these and didn't use them at all? I am a man anyway. I am just worried that if I buy these, I might not use them again.
